MULTI CAMERA
Apart from saving editing time, scenes may be shot far more quickly
as there is no need for re-lighting and the set-up of alternative
camera angles for the scene to be shot again from the different
angle. It also reduces the complexity of tracking continuity issues
that crop up when the scene is reshot from the different angles
Camera One
Camera two
The second shot is a medium shot/ wide shot,which shows the main
act, Florence. This shot shows her warming up for her act, the
camera is slightly shaky in order to get more of a realistic effect. The
shot here uses the three grid view, this is done in order for there to
be more objects in the camera, for example here in the screen shot,
Florence is on the right and the microphone is placed on the left,
this is done to show the viewers as much as possible.
Camera three
Camera four
Camera five
This shot here is pretty much the same as camera one, except this
camera is moving from right to left panning past the crowd. Doing
this means it gives the viewer more a a feel that they are there, also
by doing this it gives you more to see, such as different people in the
crowd.
Camera six
Camera seven
Again this screen shot to the right is the same but later
on in the video, this shot is a great shows, it shows
what festivals are pretty much all about, this image I
feel defines what you really need to see when
watching a festival, this is done in order to get the
audience to enjoy it more.
Camera eight
Camera eight is from behind the act, this is again a medium shot of
the act, is slowly blurs in, showing a different type of transition which
hasnt been done yet, this gives a soft but nice transition.
Camera nine
This is a close up of a fan that is used to blow air at the act in order
for them to look like its windy, this is normally used for the acts hair.
This close up uses again the three grid method in order to show
more. In the background you can see the guitarists which is out of
focus, this is done because you can still make out his features, its just
slightly blurred.
Camera ten
This shot goes from a close up and slowly pans out showing her body
language and features. The music at this point is still slow so all
angles and transitions are slow and delicately done in order for the
music and angles to flow well together. This shot goes from a
extreme close up and slowly pans out going into a close up.
Olympics
The first shot gives you an immediate image of where the event is
taking place. The first shot is a long shot of the whole location, this
gives the viewer an immediate sense of whats going.
Camera two
This shot shows is a close up but also a side view, it gives the viewer a
good look at whats going on, the camera is placed there in order
for the viewer to see more as there not there. This shot shows a good
majority of the pool, in a way it looks like a fisheye eye lens in order
to get as much of the pool in as possible.
Camera three
The next shot is a medium shot, the camera is moving and getting
closer to the players that are coming out backstage, the way the
camera is moving is very still and smooth, there are no shakes at all,
the camera is obviously on some sort of crait in order for it not to be
blurry or shaky as it could annoy some viewers, multi cameras are
often on some sort of tripods in order for it to look smooth. The
camera is following the people coming out backstage, each
plkayer that comes out is from a different country.
Camera four
they show the sports person coming out then transfer over to the
cameras panning on the crowd supporting the player waving flags
etc, shots of crowds add excitement to the game and viewing and
shows the players popularity. These shots continue pretty much
through the video.
Camera five
Wide shots show the players and the length of the pool, giving an
idea to the viewers a better feel of what there programme is about.
The long shot also shows a vast majority of the scene.
Camera six
Camera seven
This shot is a medium shot and just follows the swimmers, this helps
the viewers to see the action as it happens, the camera follows the
swimmers as they swim meaning the viewers feel more apart of it.
Multi-Cameras in shows
Multi cameras are used during talk shows such as jonathin ross,
graham nortan and alan carr, there are used to get as many shots
as possible as there are many different things that must be
recorded. In this way, multiple shots are obtained in a single take
without having to start and stop the action. This is more efficient for
programs that are to be shown a short time after being shot as it
reduces the time spent film editing or video editing the footage
Camera One
The first camera angle is a close up of the presenter, this helps the
audience to know who's the main presenter on the show.
Camera two
This meduim shot is placed behind the presenter, using this angle
shows half of the presenter and the audiences reaction to what the
host is saying,this gives the audience a different view of the stage
but also the audience.
Camera three
When talking to the guest the camera uses the three grid view to
film the chat with Tom Cruise, having a three grid view helps the
visual image become more intereswtign, for example it gets more of
the scene in whilst the guest is still the focal point of the interview.

Friends-sitcom
Camera One
Sitcoms have always had multi camera set ups, an example of this is
the sitcom friends. Friends uses a variety of different camera angles,
many shots like this are used, this is a medium shot which manages
to get the scenery in and its main character.
Camera two
This is a long shot of the two characters, long shots are usually used
the start the scene off and keep it going, by using longs shots it
becomes easier to go into close ups with annoying viewers. The long
shot usually introduces the beginning of every scene.
Camera three
Carrying on from the long shot, it goes into a close up to show the
characters expressions and body language more. Close ups help
viewers define and connect to the character they are seeing.
Close-ups are used for distinguishing main characters. Major
characters are often given a close-up when they are introduced as
a way of indicating their importance. Leading characters will have
multiple close-ups.
